Netiv Career Coaching
Build your career on what you do best.
Netiv means “path.” I help you discover how you naturally think and work, and find the path that fits you.
Career coaching for students 17+ and adults. All sessions by video call.
The intro call is free — a short, no-pressure conversation to hear where you are and see if it’s a fit.
Does this sound like you?
Things people say to me on a first call:
“My work is fine on paper, but it drains me.”
“I have too many options and no way to choose.”
“Everyone has an opinion about what I should do.”
“I picked a major, and I’m not sure it’s me.”
“I’m good at my job, and bored by it.”
“I’m at a turning point and I don’t want to guess.”
Maybe the problem isn’t you
You’re not failing.
You’re mismatched.
Most career advice starts with “What do you want to do?” and leans on grades, interests and other people’s opinions. Interests shift. Opinions differ. And you end up guessing.
Your natural talents don’t change. When your work uses them, it feels right. When it doesn’t, it feels like swimming upstream.
That’s a fit problem, and fit problems can be solved.
Who I work with
A student choosing a path
Weighing a major, a program or a first job — and not wanting to pick by guessing.
Working, and not sure it fits
The job is fine, maybe even good, but something feels off. You’re wondering whether to stay, adjust or change.
At a crossroads
A decision is coming up and you want to think it through before you commit.
You deserve a path that fits you.
How it works
From stuck to sure of your next step.
Everything happens by video call. You don’t need to be nearby.
Let’s talk first
A free, short video call to hear where you are and see if this is a fit. No charge, no commitment.
You take the assessment
The Pathfinder assessment is online. You take it on your own time.
We go through it together
Three 30-minute video sessions where we turn your results into a direction you can actually act on.
We check in later
One 30-minute video follow-up within six months, to see how it’s going and plan what’s next.
What people have said
“I came to Aharon right after high school, unsure of my strengths and weaknesses and what career path to follow. I took the testing and worked with him through the process. He helped me understand which careers would really fit me, based on my strengths and what I enjoy, and how to get there. I’m now in college on my way to a job I’m excited about. Thank you!”
“Aharon Gaffen was a good choice to help my son evaluate his career options. He was very responsive to emails, and his easygoing manner made my son feel comfortable right away. Aharon was able to explain the testing results and recommended several career options for my son to consider.”
“Thank you for your coaching help in setting me in the right direction for my career. I feel like I’ve learned more about myself, which helped me determine which type of career path I will enjoy.”

Meet Aharon
A coach who starts with how you’re built.
Rabbi Aharon Gaffen, M.Ed.
For close to 15 years I’ve worked in high school administration, and I still do. Every year I sit with students and parents trying to answer one question: what comes next? Too often the answer is a guess.
Through Netiv, I help people answer it with confidence. I’m a people person, and my favorite moment is when someone sees their own strengths clearly and the next step finally makes sense.
Netiv means “path” in Hebrew, and that’s what this work is about. I don’t hand you a career. I help you see how you’re built and find the path that fits you.

What does it cost?
The Pathfinder Package is $750. It includes the Pathfinder testing, three 30-minute interpretation sessions and a 30-minute follow-up within six months. Additional coaching is $125 per 30-minute session.
How long does it take?
You take the assessment online at a time that suits you. Then we meet by video call for three 30-minute sessions, plus a follow-up within six months.
Is it online or in person?
Everything is virtual. The assessment is online, and all of our sessions — including the free intro call — are held by video call. That means I can work with you wherever you are; there are no in-person sessions.
Is it a good fit for teenagers?
The assessment is for ages 17 and up, so it’s a great fit for high school seniors and college students. I’ve worked with high school students for close to 15 years, and a parent is welcome to reach out first.
Will it tell me exactly which career to choose?
Not on its own. It shows how you naturally think and work, and together we turn that into real options and a clear direction.
What happens after I reach out?
I’ll get back to you personally, and we’ll set up a free, short intro video call to talk about where you are and whether this is a good fit. No pressure and no commitment.
